Nissan GT-R Dragster [VIDEO]


We have seen all sorts of Nissan GT-R race cars, from GT racers, to drift cars and time attack cars. Now we have the chance to discover this GT-R dragster. Of course lying under the fiber glass made GT-R body, we have a totally different car with a totally different chassis. But at least this dragster kep the original power plant from the GT-R that was modified to reach 1,500 Hp. The result is a car can reach 100 Km/H (62 mph) in 1.78 seconds with a quarter mile time of 8.23 seconds at 173 mph (278 km/h). So what next? I suggest a GT-R based hill climb race car!

Nismo GT-R Revealed: Produces 600 Hp with A Ring Time of 7:08 [VIDEO]


The NISMO GT-R is here! It's not a multi million super exclusive hypercar, it's just a very well made Japanese computer that can go very fast while providing amazing driving sensations and that can lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:08. This impressive performance was achieved in part thanks to the tweaks applied to the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine which has been pushed to 600 Hp and 652 Nm of torque.

The suspension has also been upgraded with new springs and custom Bilstein dampers to improve the handling and increase the grip and three driving modes are available for the driver: Comfort, Normal and Race. The new aerodynamic package includes a carbon fiber rear spoiler, redesigned front and rear bumpers and side skirts also with carbon fiber extensions. More pictures after the jump!

Gozilla on Vossens [Photo Gallery]


We're not sure if ditching the Nissan GT-R's original bespoke wheels will affect its performance. But what we do know is that this red Gozilla looks amazing with its new Vossen shoes. The wheels showcased on this model are Vossens latest direction wheels and they look good on pretty much anything. These ones are finished in Metallic Silver and they measure 20 inches all-around.

There is no word if this baby received some engine tweaks but we think it'll do just fine with its original 545 Hp twin-turbo V6. So let's just focus on the way it looks with these beautiful shots.

The Nissan Juke-R will Cost $600,000?


The Nissan Juke-R met such a huge success that Nissan is going to build 25 units of it. The 545 hp GT-R powered monster costs a little more than expected though... In fact, it might cost you as much as five GT-Rs. But we guess it won't be a problem to find buyers for this little beast...

The Nissan Juke R Sprints from Zero To Hundred in 3.7s

Nissan Juke R

Sorry but i couldn't find an angle from which the Juke R looks good, so i posted a picture of its interior. But it does have GT-R power, so it deserves its own article. Thanks to the 480 Hp V6 coming from the almighty GT-R, the japanese automaker has officially made the world's fastest Crossover with a 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.7 seconds. The Nissan Juke has a top speed of 257 Km/h (160 mph) which is not bad at all especially for car that doesn't have the most aerodynamic body in the first place. You can find an interesting series of videos covering the development process of the car in its own dedicated Youtube channel.

The maximum amount of torque (466 ib/ft) will be available from 3,200 to 5,800 rpm. Best of all, the engine is more efficient than the previous version!

Despite its modest look and even if the car carries the Dacia brand name which doesn't really have motorsport heritage, things are much more interesting when it comes to what is lying under its skin.

The unlimited class monster is designed by Tork Engineering under the assistance of Renault Sport Technologies. It sits on a tibular chassis and the really best part: it is powered by an engine based on the 3.8-liter V6 coming from the almighty Nissan GT-R. The V6 now develops nearly 850 Hp which means it is even more powerful than Rhys Millen's unlimited class Genesis PM580 and nearly as powerful as Tagima's Suzuki SX4 rally car. Well that should lead us to a very exciting battle! Don't miss the race to the clouds on June 26th. For more information about this epic race, you should check out this link.
